I have been a professional artist for over 35 years, living and working from my Ketchum, Idaho studio since 1978. I enjoy painting varied subjects. The current direction of my art is painting the still life in oils. My still life paintings are about finding the beauty in everyday objects. I am especially drawn to vintage objects that have had a previous life.
The most interesting part of the painting process to me is the composition or design phase. The beauty of still life is that I am the conductor; moving objects around until I see an arrangement that is pleasing and dynamic to the eye. I look for relationships of shape, color, contrasts of light & dark and what is to be the center of interest. Because my paintings are strong in design and color they bring life and energy to a room.
Fellow artist E. Floyd said “I like the way Jennifer’s paintings seem to tell a story, as if we are getting a glimpse of someone’s daily life, with an action about to take place that will alter the vignette we have just been privileged to witness.”
I have completed many commissions for Alaska's 1% for Art in Public Places, corporations and private collectors. My work is represented in private and corporate collections worldwide.
Current representation: Mountain House Gallery & Publishing, McCall, Idaho.
